LampsWhen we wrote about lamp repair recently, a reader sent us this: "I wanted to suggest an addition: Aladdin Lamp in Jersey City, 201.434.2869. The business has been there for 60 years and the owner Mark Hauptman does museum quality work with many clients in Manhattan (he picks up and delivers.) Repair, restoration and retail—the place is like a museum. He's done several pieces for me and is very reasonable while performing with master craftsman skills. Please consider adding–super nice guy who practices a dying art. FYI: I work for an environmental nonprofit here in NYC and love the idea of fixing versus replacing as the ultimate waste reduction practice!"
